This year, make a statement that is truly unforgettable with a piece of wearable internet history. Introducing the 2025 Christmas This is Democracy Manifest Ugly Sweater, the ultimate conversation piece for any Christmas party. This sweater isn’t just festive; it’s a hilarious and niche tribute to one of the most iconic viral videos of all time, blending holiday cheer with classic meme culture.
This is Democracy Manifest Ugly Sweater | A Succulent Holiday Special
For the uninitiated, this sweater immortalizes the baffling and endlessly quotable 1991 arrest of a man in Australia. The footage, which went viral years later, features the protagonist delivering a Shakespearean-level monologue in the midst of being arrested. He accuses the police of touching his “penis,” proclaims “this is democracy manifest,” and laments his thwarted plans for “a succulent Chinese meal.”
Our sweater captures this moment in stunning, high-definition knit. We’ve even included the secondary scene at the bottom, complete with the famous quote box: “Ah yes, I see that you know your judo well.” It’s a wearable piece of art that tells a story—a very, very strange story.

This sweater is for the connoisseur. It’s for the person who has spent countless hours exploring the deep recesses of internet lore. When you walk into the holiday party, 90% of the room might be confused, but the 10% who get it? They are your people. This is the uniform for the terminally online, the Australian meme expert, and the person who appreciates the fine art of a dramatic, quotable public arrest.
It’s the perfect, absurd blend of festive cheer and chaotic internet history. Set against a classic red and beige snowflake-and-tree pattern, the central design features a brilliant, comic-book-style rendition of the entire, baffling event.
